A hybrid 180.degree. microwave balun device is provided to convert an
unbalanced RF signal at the common port into two radio frequency signals
with equal amplitude and 180.degree. phase difference at two differential
ports. The hybrid device includes a coplanar waveguide connecting to the
common port. A power divider separates the coplanar waveguide into two
symmetrical slotline waveguides to carry balanced signals. Two broadband
multioctave slotline to microstrip transitions constructed in a way that
the microstrip lines carry 180.degree. phase separated signals to the
differential output ports.
